GRIDLEY HIGH SCHOOL J ul (Bulldua. Art. 79« 7 Published by THE SENIOR CLASS GRIDLEY UNION HIGH SCHOOL GRIDLEY, CALIFORNIA (OsutizcdtlML We, the class of '47, dedicate this annual to the Spirit of '47.” Like our dauntless ancestors represented in the Spirit of '76, we advance from war into peace and an unpredictable world. The peace of World War II has not been declared, as we write this, yet the incoming era, christened the Atomic Age, is coloring our thought and changing our lives, even now. We are not sure that our four years in Gridley High have even begun to prepare us for the Atomic Age. but we do know one thing. We know that the frail, infantile spirit of brotherhood born of our close association as classmates through elementary and high school has grown and expanded into a prophetic ideal of peace and unity for our younger schoolmates who follow us, for our community, our state, our nation, our world. In a mood of pride and prophecy, then, we dedicate this book to our mysterious, long-awaited year, our guide into a changing world — The Spirit of '47. Education For Peace is the spirit of '47. This slogan has been chosen this year by educational forces throughout the United States, and we use it as the theme for our yearbook. The implications of such a watchword are far-flung. The graduating class of '47 has not the imagination nor the wisdom to show you the results of the united efforts of the American schools under this new impetus. It would take Aladdin's lamp and the genie to give you any breathtaking glimpses of the magic methods of atomic-accelerated school systems. But, wait — we do have an Aladdin's lamp! Our Spirit of the Lamp — good, old '47, will appear at one flicking rub from our toil- hardened hands and show you, not the future Gridley High en- visioned by scientists, but the plain, everyday happenings of our past. That is magic enough for us — the magic of memory with a hint of the future. Here it is, classmates; the pictures and written record of 1946-1947. Here is our work, our play, our successes, our failures, in education for peace. Look, lads and lassies; read, remember, smile, and smother a sigh. Here is our Aladdin's lamp. Take it away, Spirit of '47! (( TYlsL AOjpL RALPH W. GUILFORD -IRS. AUDREY THOMPSON School Secretary Cessation of hositilities has not brought about the full measure of peace anticipated by a war-weary world. The school year 1946-47, while not fraught with the anxieties of actual warfare, still is marked by constant threats to world and national unity. At the peace table, the victors have difficulty in reconciling their differences. The members of the United Nations can not agree upon such important matters as the proper use of the veto power in matters of world decisions and an international police force. Control of the atom bomb and the use of atomic energy on a world-wide basis is imperative, but no plan has yet been accepted. The atom bomb has become the outstanding threat to our physical existence. Albert Einstein, one of the world's greatest scientists, has made the statement that there is no defense against the atom bomb except world peace. This places a great responsibility upon the Security Council of the United Nations. On the national scene, labor, management, and capital are at logger- heads in many industries. Abolition of price controls, price rises in basic commodities, strikes of union laborers bring a threat of a spiral of in- flation which will devalue money and wteck our national economy. Meanwhile, the Gridley Union High School has resumed its normal prewar activities. Constantly, throughout the year new students have appeared to crowd our housing facilities. Athletics interest many boys and full schedules in all sports have been re-established. Many former students, recently discharged from the Services, have returned to schools to prepare for their world of tomorrow. The future will be bright if peoples of the world will lay aside dis- trust and suspicion and work together in the spirit of good will and understanding. R. W. GUILFORD Jaailh ZULA Z.

At the present time the Juniors have 89 enrolled. Seven of our classmates have dropped out to get married, or have moved to other school districts. The Junior rings with the Gridley G were ordered last November and were re- ceived in March. The class put on the annual Senior Ball for the graduating class. It was on June 13 after the graduation exercises. The dance was formal as is the tradition. The Junior girls' hockey and basketball teams competing in inter-class games turned out champions. Six members of the Junior class were represented on the football varsity squad and three members were represented on the A basketball team. The class also had a good representation of boys out for baseball. The Juniors were represented in Student Council, both Spring and Fall, by five mem- bers of the class. 14 SopJwM UL QloAA, OFFICERS FALL RODNEY BROWN PAT ELBERTSON WANDA JETT WANDA CASEY President Vice-President Secretary Yell Leader SPRING EVERETT LINDSAY KENNETH KELLY ROBERT MOORE ANITA CLARK The most important activity of the Sophomore class each year is the initiation of the Freshman Class. On the first day of school the Sophomores painted the Frosh with the traditional lip- stick. By the end of the day both Sophomores and Freshmen were spread with the lipstick from top-to-toe. On Tuesday the Frosh wore their clothes on backwards and inside out. The girls had to go without makeup of any kind. On Wednesday the Sophomores gave an assembly, introducing all new students and new teachers. Some of the Frosh and the new teachers did different stunts under direction of the Soph. On Thursday the Sophomores contested the Frosh in the annual Freshman-Sophomore brawl. One of the most important events was the tug-of-war. A strong stream of water was used as a dividing line. Both sides got soaked. Various other games were played. The Sophomores (naturally) won. On Friday night the Sophomores gave the first dance of the year, the Freshman Reception, in honor of the Freshmen. Here both classes forgave and forgot all animosity.

They wore red faces, misfit shoes, and inside out clothing without a whimper. They gave the Sophs a run for their money in the tug-of-war and the brawl, but were outnumbered in the finals. During the football season the Freshman boys played one game against the grammar school team and won 18-0. The basketball teams were a little less lucky and dropped two games out of three to their opponents. The Freshman girls have played in soccer, hockey and basketball but have failed to win any games. Being unbeaten in spirit, the girls are planning to be champions during their Sophomore year. The big social event of the year was the Sophomore Return on January I 7. The gym was beautifully decorated with palms and crepe paper. One corner sheltered an old-fashioned wishing-well. The walls were made interesting with pipe-cleaner figurines, gaily costumed, and named for popular Sophomores. 16 SiudsinL founaJL OFFICERS FALL SEMESTER DICK PEEKEMA Prosidont JACQUELINE HALE Vice-Prosident SHARLEY LOU THOMPSON Secretary BARBARA PRYDE Treasurer PAT HULEN Yell Leader SPRING SEMESTER MYRON CAMPBELL JERRY STOHLMAN ROGER GUILFORD BARBARA PRYDE JACK BEQUETTE The Student Council might be compared with the state government of Nebraska, because it is an unicameral legislative body which has nominal control of the school, but which still has superiors. The Council meets every Wednesday at 3:30 p.m. to discuss and to decide upon the various activities of the student body. The members are representatives from the different school organizations. The president is elected by the students of the school and presides at all meetings. The Council controls and accounts for the money of all school organizations except that of the F.F.A. which is a national organization. The Council decides the dates for all social activities, and awards the concession privileges for selling refreshments at all the home athletic events. The Council’s own social affairs are the annual Christmas Dance and the Council Banquet. Elections for the offices of the Student Council are held each semester.

One decided improvement has been made in the Scholarship Club. A clear cut line has been made for eligibility requirements in order to maintain a standard consistent with the purpose and aims of the organization, that is, real scholarship.. Eligibility rules are: No D's in the semester grades and only one C is acceptable. The applicant must have three solid subjects in which he has made A's in order to be qualified as a regular member. Also, this year, when the applicant was voted upon, his name was concealed, so he was accepted as an outstanding student, thus excluding personality qualifications. All this helps in maintaining a real scholarship organization. The C.S.F. gave their regular initiation and potluck party each semester. 19 (Bulldog JIoaPl STAFF Editor Assistant Editor Gossip Fashions F.F.A.

Averaging 12 pages a week, the paper was composed of a cover, page of gossip, fashion page, page of F.F.A. news, editorial page, class news, band news, library news, and Any Day column and one or two pages of sports. This year, members of the staff attended the Sacramento Bee Clinic given by the Sacramento Bee. The students who attended this clinic hope that in following years members of the Bulldog Flash may make an annual visit to some big newspaper to view the operations in editing that paper. The Bulldog Flash also sponsored a food sale, the proceeds of which were used to buy Quill and Scroll pins for the members of the staff who earned them.

Maybe you think it is fun? Well—try it sometime. First, find a publisher: then, a photographer: then, select a theme, which never pleases anybody: solicit advertising, for without that—no yearbook: then, try to get your writeups of classes in on time—yes, just try it: race around for snaps: get names correctly spelled for all the pictures—or just get names, that's hard enough; get your group pictures made outside, if the fog and rain will let you: take flash pictures of the faculty, and groan at the ghastly results: slip around to take a snap of Al and Ben—on the wing. Do all these things and then meet your deadlines to the engraver. Brother, it cannot be done. But if you want to feel worthwhile and useful, at last, just get out the good old Bulldog. Here it is, Aladdin's Lamp and all. We did what we could. Better luck next year! - 5 21 QullL awL As compensation for meritorious service on the Bulldog Flash staff, high school weekly, would-be journalists are privileged to become members of Quill and Scroll, interna- tional organization for high school journalists. It’s a real honor to belong to this organization because the standards are high. Students must be juniors or seniors, must rank in the top one-third of their class scholas- tically at the time of election, write at least 100 column inches for a high school paper or other publications, be recommended by the sponsor for ability and dependability, and submit samples of their work to the national executive secretary, Mr. Nell. Awards this year were presented to eight girls. Doris McGuffey was awarded the editor's pin for her work as the director of the Bulldog Flash. The seven remaining girls— Sharley Lou Thompson, Dolores Detling, Barbara Wheeler, Wanda Ruth Marr, Beverly Groth, Barbara Bullock, and Shirley Jensen—received the regulation gold badges of membership. At the time of the awarding of the pins, Rodney Brown, named the ace reporter of the year, not eligible for Quill and Scroll because he had not reached his junior year, was given special recognition for his work on the Flash and his contributions to the Gridley Herald, Appeal Democrat, and the Sacramento Bee. He will be eligible for Quill and Scroll next year. Because Gridley High has no stipulated fund for the buying of awards for Quill and Scroll membership, the staff of the Bulldog Flash raised the money for the badges by selling hot dogs, cokes, and homemade candy during the noon hours.

The casting of plays has been hampered seriously by our lack of boys in the class. Dick Peekema, Robert Smith and Forrest Duranceau have carried the brunt in mascu- line parts. We put on several one-act comedies and one serious play. Love in Bloom and Sob Stuff seemed to be the most popular with our audiences. Sob Stuff was requested by the Rotary Club of Gridley and the Kiwanis Club of Live Oak and the cast went through ther antics for the tired business men.'' The latter generously used the words talent and clever. Our patriotic program, except for a few spots, was a failure. Unfortunately the chairman set the wrong mood. As special projects for the year the club suggested a new plan for assemblies and rallies which was carried out successfully, and bought a cyclorama and furniture for the small stage in the social hall. The club's funds were not sufficient for the latter, so the school helped to pay for the furniture and curtain. The chief objective of the class has been to help raise the general standards of public speaking, assemblies of all kinds, and audience appreciation of student entertainment. We can only hope that this objective has been attained in a small measure. We can say, truly, that most of the things we attempted were fun. 2 ■ (bit Qhib OFFICERS MIKE CAMPBELL LESTER RAMSEY DOROTHY WHITE (Whole Year) President Vice-President Secretary The Art Club worked its way, quietly, through the football season with the usual number of posters for the advertising of games. The Freshmen learn to do their hand printing and decorating on posters, and it gives them pleasure to see their handiwork in the various windows downtown. The Christmas scene for the hall was done by Elba Squires, Myron Campbell and Janet Adams. The Christmas tree was decorated by Ruth Ingram, Lucille Moss and Shirley Cox. Various individual projects have been completed with varying degrees of success, such as moulding of animal figures with paste and paper, carving in wood, block chalk and soap, illustrating favorite songs and stories, and doing short poems in illuminated Old English print. These made up our general exhibit for Public School Week and our Parents' Night. Social activities have been limited this year but we always manage to make our meetings for any purpose social enough for most of us, even while drawing designs for F.F.A. invitations to the Parents' and Sons' Banquet or painting table favors and decora- tions for a Schoolmasters' Dinner.

After the regular initiation stunts, a potluck dinner and dancing followed. The annual Spanish Fiesta, honoring Pan-American Day, was changed somewhat this year. Although carrying out the theme of the Spanish Fiesta, idea of a masquerade ball was added. The marriage, divorce, and fortune telling booths, the breaking of the pinata, and the unmasking were the high lights of the evening. A grand march was held to choose the best masquerade costume. The gym was decorated colorfully. Bal- loons and confetti filled the air. A Spanish Club party was held toward the end of the year at the swimming pool. Everyone had a good time stuffing himself with food. The Spanish Club also sponsored an artists assembly this year. VYIuajLc Under the direction of Mr. King Stevens, our music department has been among the most active departments in Gridley High School this year, with three performing or- ganizations bsides a number of soloists, trios, etc. Among the programs most enjoyed by the music students were the Music Club Shows which were presented at Wilson Grammar School, and many of the high schools within a radius of fifty miles of Gridley. These shows featured the advanced band, the advanced chorus, the dance orchestra, and dancers along with several soloists and small groups. Everyone in the show was dressed in some kind of costume. The chorus members were dressed as Indians, the band wore their colorful blue and gold uniforms, and the dancers had costumes of various kinds including two of the funniest clowns you have ever seen. Highlights of the year were the fall concert and the Chico Festival. Gridley High entered all three performing units in the Festival. Each group played the followinq numbers: BAND Air Waves March Olivadoti Finale. From the New World Symphony Dvorak CHORUS Jalousie Gade Begin the Beguine Drake DANCE ORCHESTRA Oh, But I Do Schwartz The Rickety Rickshaw Man Drake Other programs played by the music department included music for various town clubs and organizations, a fashion show for the Junior Women's Club, school rallies, parades, the Portuguese Holy Ghost Celebration, Baccalaureate, and graduation. Last year our Girls' Glee Club had the honor of being called the best glee club Gridley has ever had, and this year because of added experience, our Girls' Glee Club was considerably better than last year. For the first time we added a beginning chorus to our music department curriculum. Twenty-five members signed up. These should fill in the ranks of the senior choir next year with well trained voices. Nancy Steadman McMurtry accompanied the advanced choir: Carolyn McPherson accompanied the junior choir. In line with the philosophy of our music department, the Gridley School Music Club sponsored two artist programs which were given in assemblies for the entire school.

In order to have a fairly good sized band, Mr. Stevens started more than forty beginners. It was these people who played at the Chico Festival last year. This year most of the beginners returned to form a good nucleus for a much better band. The improve- ment of our band has been reflected in the type of music played this year and the fact that the band went on tour with the dance band and chorus for the first time. The dance band meets before school, and has been at its best this year, boasting six saxophones, six trumpets, three trombones, piano, and drums. It has been featured on the Music Club shows, at rallies, the Junior Women's Fashion Show, the Boy Scout Dinner, and elsewhere. Some of the members even played for a wedding reception. A number of the players play with professional orchestras. BAND BACK ROW, left to right: Jim Vines, Everett Lindsay, Bob Pow- ers, Robert Moore, Reger Guilford, Shirley Gage, Eleanor Mund.

It is an honor society, and has no special purpose except trying to run school politics. New members are initiated into the Block G just as they are in any other organiza- tion, and the initiation taking place in January of 1947 was one that will long be remem- bered. This initiation was carried on for two days. On the first day, all initiates wore burlap sacks for shirts and polished the shoes of all regular Block G members. The polishing was done on regulation Block G shoe boxes which can be seen on another page. The second day saw initiates dressed up completely as girls and again polishing shoes. After school on the second day, the feminized initi- ates were presented to the public by marching down the main drag. Then Joe Taylor and Larry Perrin raced to see who could unroll a roll of toilet paper down the sidewalk, with his nose, the fastest. Joe won by 20 sheets.

Girls interested in interclass competition in hockey appeared on the athletic field for practice at noon and from these students the class teams were chosen. The interclass games were played at noon. The Senior and Freshman teams were eventually eliminated and the scores of games between Sophomores and Juniors were continually tied. A final game was played between these teams to deter- mine the champions. Since the scores were tied at the end of the second half, the teams decided to play until one team scored. This game was, by far, the most outstanding of the tournament. The teams were so evenly matched that no one could predict which would win. The Juniors were victorious as they had been the year before and the Sopho- mores took defeat in a sporting attitude. The winning Junior team is shown in the picture. 34 BACK ROW, left to right: Ralph Wright, Rogor Guilford. FIRST ROW: Ed Biggs, Fred Brown. Gorald Slagle. Dick Paekema. £oi l! Qnt icIaAJL (BaAk ibalL At the beginning of the basketball season in December of 1946, Coach Roberts was handling the A and B teams, while Assistant Coach Wilcox was training the C and D teams. The C and D schedule was from December 3 to 19. After the C's and D's finished their schedule, Coach Wilcox took over the training of the A team, while Coach Roberts concentrated his efforts on the B team. He did this with his eye on the future, for it is the younger fellows who will make up our teams to come. With such a thought in mind, Coach Roberts said, Watch our smoke in 1949 . Sridley Union High School belongs to the West Side League, the members of which for this year are Colusa, Willows, Corning, Orland, and Gridley. For the school year beginning next fall, there are two new members in the West Side League, being Live Oak and Anderson. Live Oak is six miles south of Gridley, while Anderson is six miles south of Redding. Besides competing with the above four, we also had non-league games with Biggs, Live Oak, Marysville, Yuba City, Oroville, Wheatland, and Chico. We played twenty-one league games. 35 5jlaIa! (BaAksdJbalL Basketball is the most popular sport at Gridley High School. At the beginning of basket- ball season, managers and assistant managers are elected from each class. Their duties are to choose the best players from each class to play in the noon league. The players with the most ability are put on the A team and those who are not quite so skillful are put on the B teams. Each class was given one day a week at the beginning of the season in which they could come out to practice at noon to try to make the team. They also prac- tice during their regular Physical Education periods. Five guards and five forwards are chosen for each team. There are three regular guards and two substitute guards and three regular forwards and two substitute forwards. The interclass games began on January 13 and ended February 20. Each team played two out of three games with each other class team. The noon basketball games are conducted in a very official manner. There is an official timer and two official scorers. Each player must report to the scorers and to the referee before entering the game. The Freshmen girls had never played basketball before so that their teams were not able to make a very good showing against the other class teams. However, there are some future basketball stars in the Freshman class. The Sophomore, Junior and Senior teams were very evenly matched this year.

The sophomores ran a close second with seven players, and next came the freshmen with four participants. The juniors came last with only two girls. Interclass, rather than class tournaments, yere held because some classes did not have enough participants in the tennis tournaments. The ladder style; in which the best players were on the top and the worst on the bottom, was used. A girl could challenge a person ahead of her one or two places on the ladder. If the challenger won the set, she would automatically climb to the place where the other girl had been, and the other girl would descend to her place. Girls who participated in the tennis tournaments from the senior class are: Arlene Johnson, Shirley Cox, Barbara Wheeler, Dolores Detling, Barbara Pryde, Jewell Harkey, Beverly Groth, Mary Janet Finney, Sharley Lou Thompson, and Doris McGuffey. Junior girls who participated are: Lois Jones and Janet Fukushima. Sophomore girls who participated are: Wanda Jett, Marie Ann Maurer, Betty Jane Gober, Ruth Ingram, Jessie Pryde, Jerrie Lee Randolph, and Jewell Robinson.

His loyal and firm leadership has built up strong teams in every field of athletics. Assistant Coach Verne Wilcox made a fine beginning in his new duties this season. Using former coaching experience, he started the C and D teams on a winning streak, then turned them over to Coach Roberts for special training, exchanging for the A team. Miss Nancy Kern coached the girls of Gridley High for three years, developing some fine talent in field and indoor sports.

In Gridley s starting lineup were: Marr, Cardoza, Stohlman, Ferguson, Johnson, Butcher, Brokaw, Duranceau, Slagle, Biggs and Greene. The local Reserves went to Oroville and lost, 26 to 0, to their B team. Kelly was Gridley's ground gainer. The Reserves beat the Yuba City JV, 7 to 0, the following week, and the Varsity won from Oroville, 12 to 7, with Slagle and Payne scoring. Gridley traveled to Willows and took a 20 to 0 defeat from the champs. Back in Gridley, Orland ran ragged: winning, 32 to 6. The Reserves played at Yuba City and lost, 7 to 0. On Armistice Day, the rough Colusa Redskins pounded 20 points to win. The Reserves and Varsity played their final games at Corning. The Reserves took a 25 to 7 defeat with Kepler scoring TD, while the Varsity won 31 to 7. Marr and Biggs were elected Co-captains of the season after the Bulldogs finished fourth out of six teams.

Gerald Slagle, Fred Brown, Jerry Greene and Roger Guilford were the only remain- ing lettermen from last year. Ralph Wright came to town and filled in George Peekama's shoes as center. Wriqht led Gridley in scoring by tipping the ball in for 86 points in 10 games for an 8.6 average per game. Walter Butcher followed with 50 points, Gerald Slagle 29, Jerry Greene 23, Fred Brown 22, and Roger Guilford 21. At the time of publication, Willows led the Westside League with a 3-0 record. They defeated second-place Orland, 30-20.
